It's bigger than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined and yet most of the people reading this article are unfamiliar with Singles' Day.

The Day of the 11s or Singles' Day is the largest online shopping day in the world. It falls Saturday - Nov. 11 - and with the event right around the corner, this is what you need to know.

With sales reaching almost $18 billion dollars for Singles' Day last year, this global shopping event is unstoppable and growing at epic proportions.

Singles' Day on November 11 is linked to the format. 11/11 consists of four ones aka four singles. The festival to celebrate those who are single which launched in China in 1993 (also tied to celebrating youth), is now a widespread phenomenon with sales and deals to mark the occasion.
